About this listen

In this raw and revelatory episode, writer, teacher, and art scene darling Sarah Hoover joins me to share the truth about her postpartum experience—one that defied every expectation. Sarah speaks candidly about not bonding with her baby, feeling numb in early motherhood, and the shame that followed. Together, we explore maternal mental health, identity loss, and the power of finally telling the truth. From antidepressants to artistic expression, Sarah reveals how writing her book The Motherload: Episodes from the Brink of Motherhood became a lifeline—and how naming the darkness helped her find her way back to herself. This is an unfiltered, deeply human conversation for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by the reality of becoming a mother. Today’s sponsors is FATTY 15 - use code CATT for 15% off!
